 I used to live in Pasadena, CA and would jog around this neighborhood every morning. 

Every once in a while I’d watch something on TV and recognize a house that I’ve seen in this neighborhood. They filmed there often and occasionally I’d run by a film crew. 

Reminded me of this as I’m rewatching Mad Men and recognized Don Draper’s house from the show as I ran by it every day. 
 Gamble House from Back To The Future! 
 House from Mr and Mrs Smith right near Cal Tech. 
 Don't forget the Little Old Lady from there! 
 One of my all-time favorite shows; top 3, easily. 
 It’s pretty surreal when that sort of thing happens. I grew up in ABQ and went to school at the same school Walt from Breaking Bad taught at. In fact, I took chemistry in his exact classroom, and some of my classmates were in the show lol
